Burlesque

Confession time.

I’ll admit it.

I just adore Christina Aguilera.

I was a fan of hers when she first arrived on the pop tart scene back in 1999, and will admit to listening to many (*many*) hours of “Come On Over Baby” on repeat while getting ready in high school. I jumped right off the fan bandwagon during the Dirrrty phase in her life, because come on- eww. Just eww.

Imagine my surprise and excitement when she reinvented herself (yet again) as a vintage siren straight from the 20’s and 30’s. I’m secretly a *huge, huge, huge* fan of all things vintage (insert my unhealthy Mad Men obsession here), and especially loved the way Christina channeled the 20’s and 30’s with her look. Besides, this was right around the Britney Spears/K-Fed era, which was full of way too many trucker hats and Cheetos for my taste.

This girl was desperate for a little bit of Old School Hollywood, and I think Christina definitely delivered:

Now imagine my excitement upon discovering Christina’s upcoming movie, Burlesque. It has dancing. It has music. It has Cher and Stanley Tucci. I haven’t been this excited about a movie since Chicago:

Man, I totally hear you on the Christina vs. Britany issue. Xtina's dirrty phase just did not do it for me. I'm glad to know i wasn't the only one who sang Come On Over Baby in front of the mirror with a hairbrush…
